When a student is creating a video, podcast, or presentation of any sort, sometimes a bit of background music is just what is needed to make the student’s piece shine. Trying to avoid copyright issues, many teachers direct their students to websites that contain existing samples of copyright-free music.
Musicshake (http://edu.musicshake.com) takes this to the next level by allowing students to create their own copyright-free music. Even students who don’t have a musical background will find Musicshake’s user-friendly interface fun and easy to understand. Students of all ages will enjoy the creative freedom offered by this innovative, new music-making tool. (My own son, a fourth grader, intuitively picked up on how to use it right away.)
A school-wide membership for one year costs just $499, and this allows students to create an unlimited amount of music. Musicshake also offers a free two-week trial, so before you start your next big multimedia project, I’d suggest giving it a try!
